"Mischievous Molly"

No, the picture to the left is not my actual friend who I will call 'Mischievous Molly,' but she tends to have the same reaction to her medling. As told by Grace recently, I am in contact with 'Little Brother' and some (most) of my friends are not happy about it. I feel that it is my life and I should be able to live it and have fun while doing so. The difference between Little Brother and 'Jake' is that I know the 'type' of guy that I am communicating with and know that it more than likely won't go very far if anywhere. Jake, I thought might have some legs since we shared a love for the same sports teams, still had family in the state we grew up in and seemed to enjoy one another's company. I know I screwed up the chance with him due to my self-destructive tendancies and I am moving on....back to Little Brother :)

Little Brother and I seem to get each other's sense of humor, get along and are mutally attracted to the other. I think in order for me to get over the last 'relationship' I had, I need to have a fun guy in the mix. We text meaningless banter and haven't even seen each other in months (why I know its harmless and more than likely never going to go anywhere).

Anyway, back to the point of my blog, 'Mischievous Molly.' Because I have been communicating with Little Brother, Molly is one of the friends not so happy about it. Today we were hanging out and she decided to take my phone to 'play.' I wasn't really paying attention to her because I was looking up spa information online.....Big Mistake. Molly is known to be extremely mischievous and 'crafty' amongst our friends and I should have known better than to let her get a hold of my phone. The phone rang and it was my sister so I was allowed back its possession. After I hung up with my sister I had a text message from an unsaved number. Confused I open it and realize that it is Little Brother. Then I realize Molly must have deleted his number, check my address book and sure enough, she had deleted his number in attempt to cut off our interaction. What Molly had done that was incredibly contradictory to her purpose was text Little Brother before deleting him from my phone, 'Hi Little Brother.' He happens to be very responsive to text messenging (which she knows) and clearly wrote back, hence, making it possible for communication to continue.

I am generally very patient and calm when Molly is mischievous but to be honest, this really ticked me off! First of all, don't delete things from my phone, that is my property and my business. Regardless of if you are supportive of some of my relationships, I am a big girl and can manage my own affairs. Second, why would you text someone you didn't want me talking to? I would have not texted Little Brother today if he hadn't responded back and then I would not have noticed he had been deleted. I tend not to text him but every now and again when I'm feeling 'destructive,' I do.

So, I was rather perturbed that she would do this because it just didn't make any sense to me and although she thought she was being funny, I was less than amused. What really got my blood boiling was that she texted our friends what she had done and they all, of course, wrote back that they were happy she did that. People, I appreciate your concerns but I am a big girl and know what I'm doing (believe it or not) and really want to be left alone for now.
